Trust Re

When he embarked on the establishment of Trust Insurance and Reinsurance Company in 1989 with a reduced staff of 12 people and a capital of 15 million USD, Ghazi Abu Nahl is already regarded as one of the best specialists of insurance in the Middle East. Trust Insurance and Reinsurance is, therefore there, to complete the puzzle of the insurance companies that its founder has been so patiently establishing since 1981.

Rebaptized Trust Re as of February 28, 2008, the reinsurance company may be considered today as one of the Group's most elaborate piece of work.
Despite the positive results reported in recent years, it was only at the start of 2005 that the company reached its cruising pace. For a capital worth 100 million USD, the 2007 turnover amounted to 184 million USD, net result to 35.9 million USD and return on equity to 19.85%. A performance at the reach of no other reinsurer in the region.
From a purely family business, run by a respected and enlightened patriarch, Trust Re has gradually been turned into a genuine professional reinsurer which excelled at attracting the region's best human potentialities.

Ghazi Abu Nahl
Founder of Trust Group

Specialised from the outset in oil risks for the Arab countries, the company is expanding its scope of operation year after year. In order to develop its portfolio in the East and set foot on the Asian markets, Trust Re opened, as of 2003, an underwriting office in Kuala Lumpur. Westward, it was Africa that the company turned to.
Highly rated by international rating agencies, the Bahrain-based reinsurer may rely on its new generation of underwriters to build its portfolio and consolidate its foundation, under the ever watchful eye of Ghazi Abu Nahl.
